Issue details

The Adults, Health and Wellbeing (AHWB) directorate vision is for people in Doncaster to live in the place they call home with the people and things that they love, in communities where they look out for one another, doing the things that matter to them. To help us achieve this vision, we need to invest in developing practice to ensure our ways of working adhere to national legislation, policy and best practice, and are shaped by local people with lived experience of seeking and drawing on support.

The Practice Development Team is an important resource with a wide remit, including shaping the vision and purpose of the directorate, ensuring our vision is at the heart of all we do, developing an authentic approach to coproduction, and supporting AHWB staff by developing clear principles and practice guidance, offering ongoing support to embed and develop the new Mosaic case management system and removing as much bureaucracy as possible to make things better for us and better for the people we serve.

It is particularly relevant that a proportion of the reserve earmarked for transformational projects in Social Care is earmarked for this purpose, as the team will play a key role in ensuring improved experience and outcomes for people in Doncaster and increased morale and job satisfaction for our own staff, which will in turn have a positive impact on our budget.
